It becomes interesting as they might not seem subtle to oneself but they sure come across as subtle to someone else. I sometimes swear I expect others to be mindreaders and just 'know' my feelings.

For all my retardation in physical cues...I'd have no hope in knowing if someone liked (friend, "liked" like or whatever) me or not on the 'net unless they told me explicitly; I mean, I like talking to everyone equally.... If you assume that they know your inner feeling that means you'd actually like them to know...right?

It’s just as hard in here I’ve found. :) Sometimes more so…I mean, check out the thread Soph started.... I was sure she wanted someone to guess correctly with all of the insinuations thrown around; and this is from people looking at it from the outside with peoples’ inner thoughts being placed for all to see, and I don't think anyone guessed correctly in said thread.

It’s all one big mask, even our own inner voice lies to us.

I can associate with that. People have called me "cryptic" for talking almost entirely in subtle hints at times.


Subtle hints are vital when one is talking about mystical subjects.
Love is close to such.

Private mostly but I'm getting better at being open I think.

I would prefer openness because if your feelings are returned it could be the start of a great relationship. Plus, I am horrible at reading people. The only way for me to realize someone's feelings is if they tell me.
